"Ouch! It hurts so much! Xiao Mo, please stop!!!"
Chen Fan, who was holding his hair in Mordred's arms, waved his ungrown arms in vain and screamed, which made Mordred couldn't help but reveal a sadistic smile on his face: "What's wrong? What's wrong, young master?" I just want to help a lady keep warm. You, Chen, don’t even have this bit of sympathy, do you?”
"Nonsense! I'm not pulling out your hair, are you!?" Mordred pulled his long hair back and forth. Chen Fan couldn't help but feel angry and evil in his heart. He turned around and licked it up, almost biting him. The back of Mordred's hand.
"I'll go! Chen, do you really want to be a dog?" Mordred was also startled and quickly let go of Chen Fan's hair.
"Okay!" Belia slowly put down the strange woman and couldn't help but lectured the two of them, "Stop fussing, put a layer of warm clothes on her first, don't get killed because of your nonsense."
Seeing what Belia said, Chen Fan and Mordred looked at each other and curled their lips.
Then Mordred picked up Chen Fan and came to the woman's side. He squatted down so that Chen Fan's hair could touch the woman. While watching Chen Fan's hair automatically wrap around the woman's body to form tight clothing, he exclaimed: "Others Not to mention, Chen, if you want to be a tailor, you will definitely not starve yourself to death."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes at this: "Come on, why don't you say that I can also make metal? If I really want to, I will change my profession and become an exporter. Wouldn't it be more profitable than a tailor?"
While Chen Fan and Mordred were bickering, fine and soft warm clothes were neatly put on the woman. After Chen Fan's hair stopped growing, Mordred stood up and used Chen Fan's The short legs massaged the numb parts of his body, causing Chen Fan to roll his eyes again.
After roughly checking the woman's body temperature and breathing, Beria felt relieved and stood up to move her body a few times: "The situation is stable now, but as for the identity, I can't confirm it for the time being. I personally speculate that it is a floating spirit from the Slavic system. It’s more likely.”
"Why?" Chen Fan stopped arguing with Mordred and looked at Belia with curiosity on his face.
"First of all," Belia was happy to explain to Chen Fan, who was full of curiosity, when there was no cell phone signal and nothing to do before the woman woke up. It was better than listening to him talk trash and then couldn't help but beat him. He paused and said, "Her hair is golden. This hair color is generally found in the Holy Roman Empire and Roskiev. It is also found in America, but it is more or less not as pure and close to platinum color." .”
"Oh, is it because there are too many races over there?"
Why did Chen Fan's words sound wrong? I always felt that he was mocking the mixed blood of Americans. Belia glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't see any clues: "You can say that, but if you don't want me to, I feel like you are being ridiculed." If so, just pay more attention to how you speak.”
Chen Fan wanted to say something else, but Mordred covered his mouth: "Hey, this guy talks weirdly all day long, Belia, please continue talking, the mythological system of our Holy Roman Empire is too complicated, and the federation has absorbed Too many systems lead to too many systems. I haven’t learned the content of the Slavic system yet, so I just treat it as a class.”
Naturally, Belia was too lazy to argue too much with Chen Fan, so she cleared her throat and continued: "Early Slavic mythology has always been a challenge for historians to study. Because unlike many other myths, they have no existing original data. The early Slavs did not even leave records of their gods, prayers, or rituals. However, secondary sources written primarily by monks during the Christianization of the Slavic countries provide a rich record of culture intertwined with the mythology of the region.
The key point is that the ancient Slavic mythology and religious system lasted for about six centuries until the arrival of Christianity in your Holy Roman Empire. "
"Cough cough cough!"
Mordred was embarrassed when he heard this, and waved his hand to signal Belia to quickly turn the page.
Belia did not mean to embarrass Mordred and continued to explain: "Most Slavic myths feature gods with dual and opposite aspects, and some seasonal rituals and celebrations are held according to agricultural cycles.
Babel scholars believe that Slavic mythology dates back to the Proto-Indo-European period and even to the Neolithic Age. In the early days the Proto-Slavic tribes were divided into different groups, consisting of East, West Slavs and South Slavs. Each group created its own unique localized myths, gods, and rituals based on the beliefs and legends of the original Proto-Slavs. Some East Slavic traditions have some overlap with the gods and customs of their Middle Eastern neighbors.
The dominant Slavic indigenous religious structure lasted about six hundred years. In the late 12th century, invaders from what is now the Danish Commonwealth began to enter Slavic areas. The then Bishop Absalon, tutor of King Valdemar I, was replacing the old Slavic tools of paganism with Christianity. On one occasion, he ordered the statue of the god Svanteveit in the Temple of Arcona to be pulled down, an event considered to be the beginning of the end of ancient Slavic paganism. "
As she spoke, Belia realized that she had gone too far, and that she also had some meaning directed at the Holy Roman Empire, so she quietly turned back: "Well, unlike the Christian trinity monotheism, there are many gods in Slavic mythology. , many of these gods had dual aspects. The god Svarog or Rod was a creator and considered the father god to many other figures in Slavic mythology, including the god of thunder and the sky god Perun. His opposites were associated with the sea and chaos Viles, together they bring balance to the world.
Of course, there were seasonal deities in the mythology, such as Jarilo, associated with the fertility of the land in spring, and Marzanna, the goddess of winter and death. Fertility goddesses like Mokosh guarded women, while Zorya represented the rising and setting sun at dusk and dawn each day.
In the Slavic creation myth, in the beginning there was only darkness, inhabited by Rod, and an egg containing Svalog. The egg cracked, and Svarog climbed out; the dust on the broken eggshell formed the sacred tree, which rose up and separated the sky from the sea. Svarog used the gold dust of the underworld to represent fire, creating a world full of life, as well as the sun and moon. Fragments from the egg's base were collected and shaped into humans and animals.
There are different versions of this creation story in different Slavic regions. They almost always include two gods, one dark and one light, representing the underworld and heaven. In some stories, life is formed from eggs, while in others it comes from the sea or the sky. In a further version of the story, humans were formed from clay, and while the God of Light formed angels, the God of Darkness created demons to provide balance. "
When Chen Fan heard this, he started to make moves again. Fortunately, Mordred still suppressed him.
Belia also glanced at Chen Fan angrily: "I know what you want to say, but what does this have to do with your legend about the creation of Pangu in the Age of Gods in the Central Plains? Don't embarrass me, an American who grew up in Fuso, and Mo. Dredd is a member of the Holy Roman Empire, okay?
Having digressed, it’s time to talk about the Orthodox issues in Roskiev later.
In the third century of Yunshang, with the development and growth of Christians in different cultural areas, the ideas within the Orthodox Church gradually diversified, and the determination of who was an orthodox believer and who was a heretic was further intensified. In 313 AD, Emperor Constantine I of the West and Emperor Licinius of the East promulgated the Edict of Milan, fully legalizing Christians, a folk belief that had been circulating in the Roman Empire for nearly 300 years. Later, Constantine defeated Licinius and unified the empire, becoming the only legitimate emperor of the Roman Empire.
In 325, Constantine convened the first ecumenical council in Nicaea. Constantine and Osho, the bishop of Cordoba, co-chaired the meeting. There were 245 members from the East and 5 from the West. Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria supported the establishment of the Trinity and Christology, and the Arian sect, who was a supporter of Arian, a popular priest in the church, held that Jesus was not God and was condemned as heresy. The Athanasian Creed was promulgated. Christians transformed from folk beliefs into religious groups and split for the first time. Athanasius consolidated his episcopal authority in Alexandria.
In 330, Constantine moved the capital from Rome to Byzantium and named New Rome Constantinople. The Byzantine bishop became the Archbishop of Constantinople in New Rome and later became the Ecumenical Patriarch. The system of archbishops appointed by the nation's capital was established. Before his death in 337, Constantine received the last rite of anointing in Izmir. At this point, the Church of Constantinople became the capital church, and the Archbishop of Constantinople became the royal bishop of the empire, able to preach to the Roman emperor, nobles, and other upper-class people at close range. The center of Christian religious power returned to the East.
After Constantine's death, the empire was divided again. In 355, the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantius II exiled the Roman bishop Liberius and supported Felix II, but he was resisted by the Roman citizens. Felix was driven away and Libberius was restored. The dispute over religious rights between the Eastern Empire and the Western Church intensified. In 381, Theodosius I convened the Second Ecumenical Council in Constantinople. Timothy, Bishop of Alexandria, Melido, Bishop of Antioch, Archbishop Natalus and his successor Saint Gregory of Nance Ang sponsored the proposal and 150 Eastern members participated. After the meeting, the remaining Arians in the empire were persecuted throughout the country. Orthodox Christian doctrine was established.
Since the orthodox Christians solved the Arian problem, they gradually turned their attention to the polytheistic groups in the Roman Empire. In 391, the Bishop of Alexandria, Deifulu, obtained the consent of Theodosius I and launched a campaign of destruction against pagan properties such as religious sites and temples throughout ancient Egypt. Cultural heritage sites such as the Temple of Serapis and the Library of Alexandria were burned to the ground by Christian thugs. Christians have completed the transition from being persecuted to persecuting.
In 393, Theodosius established Christianity as the state religion. The synagogues of the Jews in Alexandria were subsequently looted and destroyed, but through the legal skills of the socialite Hypatia, the violence in Alexandria was suppressed. After the death of Theodosius, the empire formed the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire, which were never united again. The church also further divided politically, entering the period of the Eastern and Western Churches. The empire and other non-Roman empire territories, as well as areas that intended to be independent, were also inseparable because of the relationship between the state religion.
In 448, a local council in Constantinople declared monophysitism to be a heretical doctrine. In 449, Saint Dougal, Bishop of Alexandria, persuaded the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II to convene the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Ephesus. Dougal presided over the meeting and 130 people participated in it. At the meeting, the doctrine of monosexuality, which advocates the integration of God and man in Jesus, was legalized and allowed to coexist with androgyny. The Archbishop of Constantinople, Vatican, was sentenced to exile. Later, Bishop Leo I of Rome called it the Robbery Synod of Ephesus, and the sentence was invalid.
In 451, the Eastern Roman Emperor Martian reconvened the Fourth Ecumenical Council in Chalcedon. Archbishop Anadoluius presided over the meeting, and about 370 people participated in the meeting. Monophysite was determined to be a heresy, and Dogo was dismissed from his position as Bishop of Alexandria. The predecessors of the five patriarchate systems of Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were established. At the same time, 23 bishops headed by Leo I, Bishop of Rome, drafted and completed the Chalcedonian Creed. The Bishop of Alexandria also holds the post of ecumenical judge, which was originally separated from the three powers of the Ecumenical Patriarch and the Pope.
In 752, the Papal State was established based on the land donated by Pepin. At this point, Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem all broke away from the Roman Empire and became autonomous churches. The national church disintegrated. In 780, Roman Emperor Constantine VI succeeded to the throne. Based on the resistance of believers and clergy to the iconoclasm movement, he approached his mother, Empress Irene, to discuss the abolition of the ban. In 787, Constantine and Irene convened the Seventh Ecumenical Council in Ephesus. The envoys of Archbishop Teresius and Roman Bishop Edward I presided over the meeting, which condemned the destruction of icons as heresy. Worship life in Eastern churches has returned to normal.
In the 9th century AD, due to the controversy over whether the Holy Trinity came from the Father or from the Father and the Son, as well as the question of whether the Slavic worship of the church after the introduction of Christianity to Bulgaria and Roskiev was reasonable, the Eastern and Western churches The divisions continue to intensify. In 820, Photius, a great figure in the history of the Orthodox Church and Eastern European secular society, was born. Photius served as a professor of philosophy at the Imperial University. He opposed Rome's doctrine of Harmony externally, and internally funded Cyril and Methodius to preach in Slavic areas, collect ancient Greek documents that were lost due to wars in the 7th century, and expand the power of the church. scope.
In 851, Photius served as chancellor of the empire. In 858, Emperor Michael III deposed Archbishop Ignatius and replaced him with the non-clergy layman Photius, which was dissatisfied by the main group of Ignatius's monastery. The Ignatian forces united with the Roman forces. In 867, Nicholas I, Bishop of Rome, deposed Photius. In 869, Emperor Basil I held the Eighth Ecumenical Council in Constantinople in order to improve relations with Rome, and the Roman bishop's legate presided over the meeting. After the meeting, Photius was condemned as a heretic. After this incident, the two religious and political forces, the Orthodox Church, which emphasizes orthodoxy, and the Catholic Church, which emphasizes catholicism, have basically been finalized. "
